Quite
a
few
of

little
something
about

from
my
grandmother

a
thoughtful,

paranoid

who
maintained
a
watchful
vigilance
over
her
home.
I

once

My
cousin's
wife
told
me
recently
that
they
wanted
to
buy
a
house,
but
weren't
sure
they
could
justify
such
a
huge
investment
in
such
a
doubtful
economy. So
I
told
her
this:

It
takes
a
tenacious
business
owner
to
hold
a
small
business
together
in
today's
economy.
But
sometimes,
tenacity
isn't
enough. In
fact,
small
and
midsize
business
owners
have
overwhelmingly
stated
that
the
biggest
inhibitor
to
growth
right
now
is
the
availability
of
financing
(or
lack
thereof).
Without

preservation
I

from

I
